Test transmisssion outlets checked on various remote SDR's at Sao Paulo
Brazil by Rudolfo Grimm;
at Johannesbourg of TWR South Africa bureau SDR;
at New York state east coast of USA;
and at Athens Greece in southern Europe.

6035 kHz UAE Al Dhabbaya ENC relay S=7 -85dBm    S=7 -84dBm  S=3 -112dBm
7305 kHz ASC Ascension   ENC relay S=9+15 -62dBm S=6 -88dBm  S=7 -84dBm
9505 kHz WOF Woofferton  ENC site  S=8 -83dBm    S=6 -90dBm  S=6 -92dBm
12065 kHz WOF Woofferton  ENC site  S=9+10 -71dBm S=6 -88dBm  S=9 -76dBm
Compared to previous season years, reception in Johannesbourg RSA
was much limited down, except the balcony Ascension Island nearby signal.
In the overall view of the test transmissions, I was very surprised to
observe the negative transmission strength signal in the 31 metre band in
Brazil as well as in South Africa targets.
The same technical parameters were used on 9505 kHz as on 12065 kHz tonight
from Woofferton England site, see hfcc.org database entries.
Dave, what's going on with the WOF antenna on 9505 kHz channel tonight?
Only sunspots/propagation matter ?
7305 and 12065 kHz channels will provide the best signal on Tuesday
in British Antarctica.
